Corrective Exercise
We are born to move! But as life goes on we can start to move less, or we move less efficiently, less purposefully and less safely. The primary objective for corrective exercise is to optimize movement quality. This enhances performance, results, injury resistance, movement efficiency, and recovery.
why Corrective Exercise?
What makes corrective exercise different than working with a personal trainer? It's all in the details. Corrective Exercise is imperative in identifying and addressing imbalances that cause posture, stability, and mobility issues.
A Corrective Exercise Specialist(CES) is a health and fitness professional who performs individualized assessments and designs safe, effective, and individualized exercise programs that are scientifically valid and based on evidence. They serve clients who have no medical or special needs or collaborate with the licensed healthcare professionals of clients currently undergoing treatment or who are post-rehabilitative treatment. The objective of the exercise program is to optimize the movement quality of the participants to enable them to perform at a level consistent with their desired fitness or performance outcome.
You can place a CES in between a personal trainer and a physical therapist. While the scope of practice to diagnose like a physical therapist isn't- there the knowledge of rehabilitation is.
In fact, the first stages of corrective exercise are very similar to being in rehab with a physical therapist that it's the perfect next step when you're done.
We focus on first the smaller picture, then as the body gains the correct mobility and strength, integrated movements that allow the body to move just as it was made to do!
